A Functional Fascia Treatment with Rolfing® Structural Integration for Double Mastectomy

ABSTRACT This case study is of a client who had bilateral mastectomies and then had a five-session series of Rolfing® Structural Integration, a fascial-focused therapy. The client, JD, was a thirty-nine-year-old breast cancer survivor who had had six surgeries and radiation to treat breast cancer. The treatment protocols included scar tissue release, proprioceptive mapping, and fascia release techniques in the Rolfing paradigm. Positive results were observed with regard to an increased range of motion in humeral flexion returning to a normal range, and the pain was alleviated.
